Slender-billed Prion is the third species of Prion that I have uploaded from my Antarctica trip, although I have to admit it looks pretty similar to the other species. This species is also known as Narrow-billed Prion as it has a noticeably thin bill when compared with Antarctic Prion: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/53521892811/in/photolist I should say that the slender bill is not easy to see as they are small and whizz about so are best identified afterwards from photos. But they also have a faint dark eyestripe, a pale crown, and a "normal" sized black tip to the tail, unlike Fairy Prion which has a large black tail tip: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/53578095917/in/dateposted/ ). Slender-billed Prion usually feeds in slightly warmer waters (north of the Antarctic convergence) and breeds in the Falklands, Crozet Island, Kerguelen Islands, plus Noir Island off Chile. It was only formally described in 1912 from specimens found dead on an Australian beach in Victoria by amateur ornithologist Charles Belcher, whose name is commemorated in its scientific name Pachyptila belcheri.

Ochsenfurt (German: [ˈɔksn̩ˌfʊʁt]) is a town in the district of Würzburg, in Bavaria, Germany. Ochsenfurt is located on the left bank of the River Main and has around 11,000 inhabitants. This makes it the largest town in Würzburg district.
Like Oxford, the town of Ochsenfurt is named after a ford where oxen crossed the river.
The town is situated on the left bank of the River Main, 21 kilometres (13 mi) south of Würzburg.
Ochsenfurt was one of the places in Germany where King Richard I of England was detained in 1193 while on his way to England from the Third Crusade.
A monastery, Tückelhausen Charterhouse, dedicated to Saints Lambert, John the Baptist, and George, was founded in 1138 by Otto I, Bishop of Bamberg, as a double canonry of the Premonstratensians. From 1351 it belonged to the Carthusians and was secularised in 1803.
The charterhouse was largely converted for private residential use and since 1991 contains a museum of Carthusian life.
Ochsenfurt also features several Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, among them that of St Michael (Michaelskapelle), a Gothic edifice.
In 1911 there was a considerable trade in wine and agricultural products, other industries being brewing and malting. Ochsenfurt also has one of the largest sugar factories in Germany.
Lower Franconia (German: Unterfranken) is one of seven districts of Bavaria, Germany. The districts of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia make up the region of Franconia. It consists of nine districts and 308 municipalities (including three cities).
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganised and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke, singular Regierungsbezirk), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Untermainkreis (Lower Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Untermainkreis changed to Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg, but the city name was dropped in the middle of the 20th century, leaving just Lower Franconia.
From 1933, the regional Nazi Gauleiter, Otto Hellmuth, (who had renamed his party Gau "Mainfranken") insisted on renaming the government district Mainfranken as well. He encountered resistance from Bavarian state authorities but finally succeeded in having the name of the district changed, effective 1 June 1938. After 1945 the name Unterfranken was restored.
Franconia (German: Franken, pronounced [ˈfʁaŋkŋ̍]; Franconian: Franggn [ˈfrɑŋɡŋ̍]; Bavarian: Frankn) is a region of Germany, characterised by its culture and Franconian dialect (German: Fränkisch).
Franconia is made up of the three Regierungsbezirke of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia in Bavaria, the adjacent, Franconian-speaking, South Thuringia, south of the Thuringian Forest—which constitutes the language boundary between Franconian and Thuringian— and the eastern parts of Heilbronn-Franconia in Baden-Württemberg.
Those parts of the Vogtland lying in Saxony (largest city: Plauen) are sometimes regarded as Franconian as well, because the Vogtlandian dialects are mostly East Franconian. The inhabitants of Saxon Vogtland, however, mostly do not consider themselves as Franconian. On the other hand, the inhabitants of the Hessian-speaking parts of Lower Franconia west of the Spessart (largest city: Aschaffenburg) do consider themselves as Franconian, although not speaking the dialect. Heilbronn-Franconia's largest city of Heilbronn and its surrounding areas are South Franconian-speaking, and therefore only sometimes regarded as Franconian. In Hesse, the east of the Fulda District is Franconian-speaking, and parts of the Oden Forest District are sometimes regarded as Franconian for historical reasons, but a Franconian identity did not develop there.
Franconia's largest city and unofficial capital is Nuremberg, which is contiguous with Erlangen and Fürth, with which it forms the Franconian conurbation with around 1.3 million inhabitants. Other important Franconian cities are Würzburg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Ansbach and Coburg in Bavaria, Suhl and Meiningen in Thuringia, and Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.
The German word Franken—Franconians—also refers to the ethnic group, which is mainly to be found in this region. They are to be distinguished from the Germanic people of the Franks, and historically formed their easternmost settlement area. The origins of Franconia lie in the settlement of the Franks from the 6th century in the area probably populated until then mainly by the Elbe Germanic people in the Main river area, known from the 9th century as East Francia (Francia Orientalis). In the Middle Ages the region formed much of the eastern part of the Duchy of Franconia and, from 1500, the Franconian Circle. The restructuring of the south German states by Napoleon, after the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, saw most of Franconia awarded to Bavaria." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.

A bike from the Lime Bike sharing company waits for a rider in front of the Waterfront Fountain. Lime Bikes can be ridden for 30 minutes for a $1.00 and dropped off anywhere in the city. Behind the fountain is the 175 foot tall Great Wheel which can be ridden for 20 minutes for $14.00.
The fountain was designed by James Fitzgerald. It is made of textured bronze and was constructed in 1974. It was a gift to the city by the designers family after his death.
I am in the third trimester now, and definatley feeling it. Swollen and sore is just a part of life now. I am also at that point where I keep bumping my belly into things.
Following on from last week's shot of the Crib Goch, this is the interesting conclusion to the ridge. The knife edge arete culminates in a very sporting clamber up and down over three pinnacles. This image shows the last of the three, and conveniently for me, three young chaps were climbing ahead of me and showed the three main stances on the ledges of the pinnacle. The lowest (guy in the black shorts) is the most precarious, the middle is easiest, and the top (guy in the red top) is a real don't look down moment if you are not keen on heights! There is a way of bypassing the second and third pinnacle by descending a fair way to the left - but why would you?
Once over the third pinnacle you descend to the col before the clamber up the Garnedd Ugain ridge which is the second section of the great Snowdon Horseshoe - there is even more fun to come!

The third picture from the same morning in the Vale of Ancholme. The same sky as 'Obscured' but a warmer wider perspective. The Lincolnshire Wolds are in the distance. Amazing how turning through about 60 degrees gives a much warmer feel to 'Vale Dawn'. A super morning.
Looking back on Third Beach as we continue our journey around the sea wall. Despite being later afternoon now it was seriously hot.
After 2 failed days of catching 68001, I thought last night that maybe today was the day? On Tuesday I was at Stenson Jn for 6U77, but got diverted because of a bridge fall at Barrow upon Soar. On Wednesday I was at Slindon and 68001 was allocated and 68017 arrived. Today I woke up and 68017 was allocated. So a train to Stafford and a walk to Queensville Curve. As it came around the corner I saw that it was 68001! 68001 passes Queensville Curve working 6U77 the 13:42 Mountsorrel - Crewe Basford Hall 4/8/16
Another Friday and another B&H trip out for a pair of Grids! Here 56103 & 56301 storm past Edington with empty aggregates train 6Z60 1034 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Merehead Quarry..
After Saturday's chaos on the R&N, I decided to take a little time to head over to Jersey to catch Black River and Western's 2-8-0, number 60 as she pulled the day's passenger excursions between Ringoes and Flemington, NJ. A great crew was working as usual and the sun stayed shining..
The 11:30 AM trip from Flemington crosses the Third Neshanic River in Flemington over the Copper Hill Bridge at a new vantage point thanks to some recent tree clearing work.

On the third day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
